Title: Systeme d'actionneur rotatif servant a commander la levee de soupapes de changement des gaz dans la culasse d'un moteur a combustion
Inventor: GAUBATZ KARL-HEINZ
IPC: F01L9/22
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'actionneur rotatif (1, 1a) servant à commander la levée d'au moins deux soupapes de changement des gaz (2, 2', 3, 3') à action équivalente situées dans la culasse (4) d'un moteur à combustion. Ce système comprend un premier moteur oscillant (5) pourvu d'un premier arbre (6) sur lequel est disposé au moins un premier élément d'actionnement (7, 7a), ainsi qu'un second moteur oscillant (5') pourvu d'un second arbre (6') sur lequel est disposé au moins un second élément d'actionnement (7', 7a'), un élément d'actionnement (7, 7a, 7', 7a') étant prévu pour au moins une soupape de changement des gaz (2, 2', 3, 3') et le premier et le second moteur oscillant (5, 5') étant disposés de façon symétrique par rapport à un point. L'invention se caractérise en ce qu'un élément de transmission de force (8, 8a, 8', 8a') est disposé entre l'élément d'actionnement (7, 7a, 7', 7a') et la soupape de changement des gaz (2, 2', 3, 3'). Cette disposition dans le mécanisme de distribution permet de réduire les masses déplacées et, par là même, d'obtenir des régimes plus élevés lors du fonctionnement du moteur à combustion.

Abstract: A servomotor driving controller capable of highly accurate machining,
which prevents a quadrant projection upon change in the quadrant where
machining is made. After the position deviation converges to zero by means
of learning control, the velocity command or a difference between the velocity
command and the commanded velocity which is the derivative of the position
command is stored as velocity correction data. Until a predetermined time
period elapses from when the sign of the position command is reversed, an
amount of correction for each period of position loop processing is determined
based on the correction data, and used to correct the velocity command,
and torque command.

Abstract: In a CNC lathe, a workpiece in the form of a longitudinally extending
bar  12  is rotated about a longitudinal axis  14  and a cutter  16  is moved
initially in the direction of arrow A and along a path, indicated in broken lines
at  18 , to machine the bar  12.  The lathe runs unmanned, so any breakage of
the cutter  16  results in scrap and possibly damage. To prevent this, a fixed
sensor  20  is positioned, along the path  18 , at a point where the CNC system
brings the cutter  16  to rest. The sensor  20  comprises a probe  24  connected
to a microswitch  22  in turn connected to the start control of the lathe. The
process cycle restarts only if the cutter  16  engages the probe  24  to indicate
that it is not broken.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique qui permet d'aviser efficacement des voisins du protocole de routage de passerelle intérieure amélioré (EIGRP) lors de la destruction de contiguïtés dans un réseau informatique. Un paquet de notification de fin de session permet à un routeur EIGRP d'informer au moins un de ses voisins de son intention de détruire leurs contiguïtés existantes. Ledit paquet de notification de fin de session comprend un en-tête de paquet EIGRP à champs de longueur variable conçu comme attribut de fin de session annexe. Ledit attribut de fin de session annexe est, par exemple, étiqueté suivant un format de codage type, longueur, valeur (TLV) qui définit un nouveau champ de type (T) appelé « fin de session » présentant un type prédéterminé qui le distingue d'un paquet d'accueil EIGRP. Un champ de valeur (V) d'informations communiquées au sein de l'attribut fin de session contient une liste d'identificateurs (ID) de voisins (homologues). Ces identificateurs d'homologues figurant sur cette liste donnent consigne aux routeurs voisins de « partir » afin que leurs contiguïtés puissent être détruites.

Abstract: In a radio communication system, a common channel is provided which is allocated to a plurality of subscribers at the same time for data transmission between a base station and a subscriber station. Measurements regarding the transmission quality are carried out on the common channel and their results are available in the base station. If the transmission quality does not meet a defined criterion, the base station transmits a first message to a controlling radio network controller associated therewith, the first message containing information about the transmission quality and about subscriber stations for which a bad transmission quality was measured. The controlling radio network controller sends a second message which informs serving radio network controllers, associated with the subscriber stations having bad transmission quality and responsible for the configuration of the subscriber stations, about the bad transmission quality.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil, des systèmes et des méthodes permettant de diagnostiquer le syndrome du canal carpien (CTS). Une pression sur le nerf médian au niveau du poignet peut provoquer une baisse de sensibilité tactile dans le bout des doigts. Les personnes présentant un CTS ressentent souvent un engourdissement, un fourmillement et une baisse de sensibilité tactile dans le bout des doigts. Par comparaison avec un groupe de référence, les sujets présentant les symptômes du CTS ressentent un changement (baisse) de sensibilité tactile moyen plus important lors d'une exposition à certaines stimulations. Ces stimulations incluent une flexion du poignet, une pression directe sur la région du ligament carpien transversal du poignet, et une sollicitation du tendon. En outre, les effets d'une légère occlusion veineuse dans l'avant-bras ont été étudiés. On a observé une augmentation du seuil pendant la période de rétablissement consécutive à chaque stimulation. Le diagnostic du CTS s'effectue par surveillance et analyse, de préférence au moyen d'un ordinateur en temps réel, des réponses du sujet à ces stimulations.
